ChartMuseum is an open-source, self-hosted Helm Chart repository server that enables users to store and manage Helm charts efficiently. Helm is the standard package manager for Kubernetes, allowing developers to deploy applications seamlessly. While Helm provides public repositories like Artifact Hub, organizations often require private and secure repositories for managing their Helm charts internally. ChartMuseum fills this gap by offering a lightweight and flexible solution.
ChartMuseum provides a robust API that allows users to interact with it programmatically, making it an essential tool for automated CI/CD pipelines. It is written in Go and can be deployed as a standalone binary, within a container, or as a Kubernetes deployment.
